Accel shorty spark plug alternate

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chucky, Jul 29, 2013.

  1. Thought I would do a separate post about my findings on an alternate for Accel's SPENDY short spark plug. The P526S is $10.97 each at Summit right now - and that is just completely friggin' ridiculous! Just a few months ago, I spent $90 on a set of spark plugs.:eek::eek: This is a 14mm / .708 reach plug, but I needed a short version which is not very common, hence the $11.00 plug. I crossed the Accel number to an AC number and then the guy at O'Reilley's crossed it to NGK, and finally to a Motorcraft number. Anyways, the Motorcraft plug is only 1/8" longer than the Accel. It costs $4.99 and it's a platinum plug. Ford plugs are going in my Chevy engine, which is mounted in a Plymouth.:D Any other options out there? I did a google search and it seems nobody has a great answer. Yes, the Plymouth is running a bit rich - tuning sucks!

    That's weird thread length on those plugs. What kind of heads are you using?

    I didn't check into it thoroughly, but when I had the angle plug aluminum heads on my Austin's 327 I was told the Accel plugs were made by NGK, and to buy NGK instead, as they were the same length. I ended up taking the aluminum heads off and going to old camel hump 2.02's instead, so plug clearance became a non issue.
